How Jeep Plans To Squeeze 324 HP From a 2.0L Turbo Without Wrecking Reliability
The new 2.0-liter Hurricane turbo engine produces 324 hp and 332 lb-ft torque with advanced Turbulent Jet Ignition technology for improved efficiency and power.
- Later this year, Jeep will begin producing the 2026 Grand Cherokee with a new Hurricane 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder delivering 324 hp and 332 lb-ft at Stellantis' Jefferson and Mack plants in Detroit.
- Stellantis says the Hurricane's TJI system uses a tiny pre-chamber to ignite fuel, enabling cleaner combustion that supports improved fuel economy and Jeep's class-leading 506-mile range and 6,200-pound towing capacity.
- A variable-geometry turbocharger supplies 80 percent of peak torque at 2,300 rpm, and the Hurricane 4 features a single-piece aluminum block with 24 percent thicker cylinder bore walls.
- Positioning the Hurricane as a global engine, Stellantis plans to introduce it across its portfolio while Jeep simplified the Grand Cherokee to three trims—Laredo, Limited, Summit—and a 4xe-exclusive Trailhawk model.
- Amid some skepticism about complexity, Jeep says hundreds of thousands of miles of validation testing prove reliability, with no V6 or V8 in 2026 Grand Cherokee.
